Safer Shirts Donate or Read or Share

Safer Shirts has been giving away t-shirts that say "marijuana is safer than alcohol" for free for a long time. I became a non-profit after about 2 years of giving away shirts.

In my first year as a non-profit, I spent over $7,000 making and mailing t-shirts to people around the world.

That same year I received about $1,500 in donations.

That means I gave shirts to a lot of low income cannabis activists who can not afford to make a donation.

Luckily there are a lot of people who donate all the time even though they are not getting a shirt mailed to them in exchange for their donation.

I have one person who donates $4.20 every month, and they do not receive anything in exchange for that, other than the joy of seeing pictures of people wearing safer shirts posted through my various social networking pages.

I have another person who donates $25 every month and they do not receive anything in exchange for that. They know their money is being put to good use because they can see the photographic evidence on Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, etc.

I also advertise for businesses who donate to me. I've received donations from Bloggers I promote their work.
I've received donations from Safe Access points, I promote them on my various social networking presences.
I try to reciprocate as much as possible in advertising value whenever I receive donations from businesses.
Businesses can donate with cash, blank shirts, fabric paint, rolls of stencil material, etc.
